natchezss.com..... As per post on review on the NZ forum. This scope is not in production any longer and is suppose to be an excellent scope for a Springer. I purchased probably the last of a few left. I found that natchezss still had some left through an old post in the yellow forum. I paid $99.95 for it and it was $165.00 regular price.

Simmons 44 Mag 6.5-20x44 Mildot.
If you associate heavy with quality then you will like this scope. It is built like a brick *_*_*_*_*_* house and is the heaviest of the scopes. These are very popular with the americans on their air rifles. All forums I have read typically use this scope as the benchmark for quality at a good price. The one thing that stands out with this scope is how heavy the reticle is. The posts are very thick with a fine cross hair and Mildots. Optically this scope would be the best of the bunch. Unfortunately this scope is no longer made. The clicks are very positive although perhaps not as good as the platinum. Sunshade costs extra and not included with scope. This scope is parallax adjustable down to approx 10 Yards. Best suited for any type of air rifle including springers.

quality scopes - almost (but not quite) as bright as the 3200 I've used (but do not own). I also own some lower priced BSA 3-12x scopes, and these are noticably superior (although I also would recommend the BSA for those who cannot afford higher priced scopes, or as a second scope). I have had 1 of the simmons mounted on my .177 TX200 for over 1 year without any problems whatever. The other I move back and forth between my milehigh custom B4, and aMarlin rimfire.
I'd recommend this scope to anyone, based on price/performance ratio, quality, and personal experience.

Hello...
Let us know how the " Mill - dot " reticle works on an air rifle. I am curious and would like to know. Best of luck.
